Pewsheet Notices The Weekly Pewsheet will be taking on a new shape for a trial period in the villages (as has already been running at Oakham for some time). We would like to encourage more notices from every Church in the Team, whether they need advertising around the whole Team, or just the local Church. Help us to make it YOUR pewsheet, so that we are all more aware of what is going on throughout the Team. Please email notices, by preference, to notices@oakhamteam.org.uk by 11am on Wednesday. If you don’t have email access, they can still be delivered to the Team Office in person or by phone to Janine during weekday mornings by the same deadline.
Women’s Ministry celebrated Seven women clergy who were among the first to be ordained in 1994 joined several hundred people in Peterborough Cathedral on 7 June for a Eucharist to celebrate 20 years of the ministry of women alongside that of men in the Church of England. “I felt fear and trepidation at first,” one of them, Canon Lesley McCormack, said in a reflection during the service. But she looked back on two decades of having “been enormously blessed and having learned much about God.” There had been pain as well as joy, she admitted, and stressed that “there is much work still to be done”. Speaking after her, Canon Ian Black, who was ordained in the same year, said “I represent the new normality. I’ve worked with many women clergy and see how important it is to have both men and women in ministry. I now find all-male groups impoverished. The Church of England is impoverished without women bishops,” he added. The General Synod has of course this week finally voted to make women bishops. In his sermon Bishop Donald looked forward optimistically to the decision and stressed that biblically men and women were made equally “in the image of God” and that “the whole of God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – has the characteristics of both male and female.
“The priest at Holy Communion represents the whole of God to us, and all of us to God,” he said. “A woman does that equally to a man.” Women were the first witnesses of the resurrection and the first bearers of the good news that Jesus was risen, he added, which is an “example of the Gospel overturning the culture of the day” because the testimony of a woman in court was considered to be less than that of a man.
After the service, at which Canon Julie Hutchinson, chaplain to Bishop Donald, presided, the Gladstone Primary School Djembe Drummers from Peterborough raised the tempo. They were followed by the Kings School jazz band which played throughout a reception of sparking drinks and creamy cupcakes. Also present and robed in the service was Revd Lucia Kang, one of the delegation from the Diocese of Seoul currently visiting the UK and one of the relatively few women priests in her diocese. Bishop Donald’s sermon can be downloaded as an audio file from the diocesan website and photos of the day can be seen at www.flickr.com/photos/dioceseofpete rborough/sets/72157644675348589/
